“Face Shaping” without Surgery
Whether it’s a loss of collagen leading to a drooping mid-face, the effects of aging combined with genetics resulting in prominent jowls, or asymmetrical features, a variety of non-invasive options are available to enhance, define, and address common cosmetic concerns, subtly adjusting your appearance.
As filters and photo-editing apps like FaceTune have gained popularity, so too have non-surgical facial contouring and shaping procedures. This trend has driven demand for treatment options that offer minimal downtime and reduced risk, resulting in a wide range of non-invasive cosmetic procedures.
What is Non-Surgical Facial Contouring (aka Face Shaping)
In summary, facial contouring involves reshaping and restructuring facial features without the need for surgery. Individuals typically choose this procedure to enhance or define specific features, slim or lift the lower half of the face, correct asymmetry, or reduce excess fat. Treatment options commonly include injectables (such as hyaluronic acid-based injections and Botulinum toxin injections), ultrasound skin tightening, or fat-dissolving injections.
Define and Contour your appearance with these procedures.
If you’re looking to enhance your appearance subtly, consider these minimally invasive procedures recommended by our Senior Practitioners at Absolute Cosmetic. Keep in mind that each person’s needs are unique, and there is no “one size fits all” approach.
Lip Augmentation Treatment
As part of the ageing process, our skin can begin to lose that plump, firm complexion. Commonly referred to as the ‘liquid facelift,’ Dermal Filler Injections can be used in combination with other treatments to restore loss of volume and enhance facial contouring. This procedure aims to create a fuller, more defined profile and is increasingly recognised for its ability to reshape and balance the face. Its versatility allows for targeted enhancement in various areas, including the lips, cheeks, nose, chin, jawline, and tear troughs, among others.
Fat Reduction Treatment
Reducing the number of fat cells from a specific area of the body, in particular, the area under the chin. This fat pocket is a common feature in the aging process influenced by genetics and diet. These Fat Reduction injections again can be used in combination with other treatments to define the loss of definition to the chin and jawline. This procedure is gaining traction among male patients, particularly as more individuals assess their appearance during video calls on platforms like Skype and Zoom. With results lasting up to four years, this treatment offers a valuable option for those looking to contour the lower half of their face.
Silhouette Soft Threads (Non-surgical Thread Lift)
A subtle result in creating a lift, tightening the skin, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles without undergoing surgery. Otherwise known as the ‘Silhouette Soft Threads’ or ‘Thread Lift’ the procedure is particularly suited to those in their 30’s or 40’s looking for a discreet lift. Following the increased visibility of the procedure, many individuals are now considering it to lift specific areas of the face and achieve a more defined appearance, often referred to as the ‘Fox-Eye’ effect. The versatility of this treatment appeals to a wide range of demographics, allowing for targeted enhancements in areas such as the face, neck, brow, and temples.
Laser Resurfacing
A transformative treatment that works to enhance the overall appearance of the skin. Stimulating collagen growth, minimising pigmentation, acne scarring, and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, really is a game-changer in revitalising a patient’s overall appearance. There are varying degrees of non-ablative and ablative laser treatments that address and target a multitude of skin concerns and desired results. Clear & Brilliant, Pixel, DOT, and Pico are among those recommended laser resurfacing procedures that patients opt for when assessing their skin concerns. They appeal to a wider patient demographic as they are a non-surgical option considered less invasive, more efficient, and have the ability to target many factors affecting the skin all in one treatment.
Ultrasound Technology for Skin Tightening
The end goal will usually revert to achieving that firm, supple skin that we once had. It seems as though overnight the skin beings to wrinkle, and lose that overall glow as the ageing process begins. Skin tightening treatments such as the Ultraformer or Thermage work by using radiofrequency and ultrasound technology to heat the skin and stimulate the formation of new collagen and elastin over time. With the body tricked into healing the area treated, production of collagen is increased, and the skin quality and firmness begin to improve. The procedure is suitable for all skin types and can be administered to various areas of the body including full face, eyes, jowls, neck and even abdomen, thighs, and knees.
